Jean-Pierre Pincemin

Jean-Pierre Pincemin was a greatly admired and sometimes exasperating figure in the French art world. Close to the Supports/Surfaces artists in his formative years, he parlayed this experience into a protean approach to art making with no particular allegiance to style - archaic, classical, baroque, or medium - painting, sculpture, prints. This permanent attitude of defiance and exploration was described by critic Barbara Rose as "shifting emphasis and redefining premises, permitting an incredibly creative originality."
